A local’s guide to the best eats at The Rocks Markets

The Rocks Market is a foodie paradise. Visit and you’ll discover dishes from all over the planet that you’ve never tasted - all prepared by local chefs right in front of you. 

But when you arrive at Sydney’s best market, the sights and smells can be a little overwhelming. How can you choose one meal when there’s stalls preparing authentic pizzas, handmade chocolate, flakey croissants, classic cookies and baklava all within arm’s reach?

You could stay a while and eat it all - or check out our guide to the best market eats and plan your market menu!

Dare Gozleme

If you’ve never had a gozleme, you’re in for a treat. These delicious Turkish snacks feature a flat, soft bread (a bit like a thin roti) that’s stuffed with goodies like spinach and feta then fried to melt all the fillings. And the best part? They do banana and nutella flavours so you can have gozlemes for dinner and dessert. 

Emporium of Chocolates

Chocoholics should run, not walk to Emporium of Chocolates. This place sells handmade choccys made only with fresh, natural ingredients from Australia, made to deliver mouthwatering flavour in every bite. We love all their flavours but their slow-cooked caramel dulce de leche bites are unbeatable. 

La Gitana

It’s not easy to find authentic paella in Sydney, unless you’re at The Rocks Markets, that is. La Gitana is a regular stall that makes real paella with toppings of your choice, from prawns and shellfish to chicken and chorizo (and there’s even a vegan option). 

That’s Amore Street Pizza

Real pizza, prepared the authentic Italian way, tastes so much better - that’s exactly what these guys are all about. Hand-made dough slathered in fresh tomato sauce and topped with real mozzarella then baked to crispy, golden perfection in a real wood-fired oven. That’s Amore!

Tenacious Croissant

Discover a harmonious blend of French pastry artistry and Korean culinary innovation at Tenacious Croissant.  From the iconic croissant reinvented with bold Korean flavours like kimchi to their best seller, Portguese tarts, you can't go past it!

Thicc Cookies

Thicc Cookies redefines the cookie experience with its range of outrageously thick, indulgent treats. From classic Choc-Chip to irresistible vegan Biscoff , each cookie is a masterpiece of flavour and texture. Crafted with care, Thicc’s cookies are perfect for everyone. Dive into a world of chunky, chewy delight.

Ard

Indulge your senses at ARD, where traditional Lebanese baklava is reimagined with a plant-based twist. Each piece of baklava and every baklava layer cake is a labour of love and craftsmanship, promising to transport your taste buds to a realm of sweet, flaky delight.
